Article & Video Ping!

Check out this one of a kind research vessel that floats in such a way that it can stay out on the scientists on board can stay out on the ocean even during storms that create up to 80 foot waves without fear of ever sinking. The video is at the bottom of the fairly lengthy article I wrote, so here is the link to two videos, FLIP, How Does It Float? Or you can download this short 3 min. mpg I made and watch it later on your own pc, FLIP.mpg

WHOA! It's so cool! I remember reading about this in the early 60's Popular Science and Popular Mechanics mags! (Maybe Science and Mechanics if there's anyone old enough to remember! It was the first to go...sigh) It's hard to believe it's still in use.

Or did I miss something?
